commit 3a5ca857079ea022e0b1b17fc154f7ad7dbc150f upstream.
When a non-initial netns is destroyed, the usual policy is to delete all virtual network interfaces contained, but move physical interfaces back to the initial netns. This keeps the physical interface visible on the system.
CAN devices are somewhat special, as they define rtnl_link_ops even if they are physical devices. If a CAN interface is moved into a non-initial netns, destroying that netns lets the interface vanish instead of moving it back to the initial netns. default_device_exit() skips CAN interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set. Reproducer:
ip netns add foo ip link set can0 netns foo ip netns delete foo

To properly restore physical CAN devices to the initial netns on owning netns exit, introduce a flag on rtnl_link_ops that can be set by drivers. For CAN devices setting this flag, default_device_exit() considers them non-virtual, applying the usual namespace move.
The issue was introduced in the commit mentioned below, as at that time CAN devices did not have a dellink() operation.
